Happy New Year, readers! Let's start 2018 off on the right foot (or left), with a pair of soft and stylish socks from our New Year's featured brand, prince + pete. This New York City-based sock company has exactly what you need to be functioning fashionably this season. Not only are prince + pete men's socks comfortable, being made with soft bamboo fiber yarns that will be a treat for your feet, but they are very functional in a wardrobe; especially since there are multiple ways to purchase and "pair" your style selections. We'll go into more detail below ;)

Part of the appeal to the prince + pete brand is that you can buy in either 3, 5 or 9 packs, singles or the vipS-Club (we like how that sounds!). Each pack is centered around a color theme, all creatively named, from which your styles are selected, allowing them to be tastefully interchanged within the same theme. So you can choose to go traditional and match your socks exactly, or mis-match a bit! It sounded like fun to try out the subtle mixing of patterns, so we took a pair out for a spin, and loved them!

We hope you'll enjoy these photos we took down by the pond; it was a bit chilly that day, but luckily, the socks kept our brave model's feet warm! These socks are actually a little thicker than traditional men's dress socks, and we liked the extra comfort. The blues and subtle, yet still conversational patterns, matched so well with the scene, we couldn't have been more pleased. The prince + pete logo appropriately displays a motto of "the art of interesting feet," which we think goes well with the concept.
